  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

PROFESSIONAL piece of gear.
Extremely lightweight, and loaded with cool feature

If you're a current member of http://infotech.dreamwelder.com/ you will get to pre-order this before anyone else.

Thanks Jay! - That looks real interesting! I bought a cut foam EPIC Set insert for a Pelican 1510 Case I had from Jason of Cinema Oxide - they're doing some great stuff! I look forward to the release of this little jewel! M.S.F.
 
The word is that as a member of Infotech Academy with it's great - "just launched" - "RED:102 EPIC and SCARLET" video instructional course at www.infotechacademy.net one can pre-order this item from Cinema Oxide before it's released to the general public. M.S.F.
 
I'd love to get my hands on one of those and test it out. Is this thing being released soon?
 
Aloha Phil,
I'm not sure when. I just got the "heads up" from Jay but keep an eye on the Cinema Oxide site: http://www.cinemaoxide.com/ . It looks to be constructed of Carbon Fiber - nice! This will be great for shooting on a bright sunny day! The next thing we need is a remote trigger for the Gunner rig. M.S.F.

Phil,
We will have a full operational video on this later next week. It will be open to the general public (you might have to register with an email, but it's just for me.. Sorry). You will also have a last chance to join infotech, and get the pre-order and discount provided the que is not full by then.. We're watching the order our members join.. Those that jumped in early will get first crack at this.

I don't want to say too much until I get this thing in my hands.. But I know Jason, and I am pretty sure I know what's coming.. I'm excited on a lot of levels.

We're not just doing videos... :)

Would be nice to have 1” -1.5” wide half-oval hole at the bottom (underneath) near the screen surface so we could insert finger for touch screen operation.

It could be blocked (plugged) with rubber blank if someone chooses not to use it.
 
I had so been hoping someone would come up with a solution that allowed the 5" touch to double as an EVF, even though I haven't received my camera yet and therefore can't speak to the practicalities of it. EVFs built around a "traditional" LCD platform tend to be mostly 3" and under from what I've seen. So I wasn't sure if 5 would make it TOO big to make sense. The main thing for me, besides wanting to save money and weight and have a screen with the flexibility of being either a traditional LCD or EVF, is to have an EVF add on that has a diopter. It's a vision thing for me now, since I've reached the age where things are a blur when they're closer than 2 feet. Jay or anyone else, will this product come with a diopter?

Confirmed. It has a diopter. :)

This looks like a neat idea. I'm definitely in the market for an EVF of some description so this may be a way to save a bit of cash.
 
This are good news! (After searching for a while without luck, I was just ready to build something like that for myself).
Jay please keep us updated.
Thanks,
Marc
Looks like this will be a great "group buy" item.
